单选题 You're sitting at a restaurant waiting for a friend. Twenty minutes after your designated meeting time, they arrive in a flutter with a list of excuses. Perhaps there was too much traffic or a meeting ran long. You've heard it a million times, yet their behavior never changes. Sound familiar? 'I think everyone has a person in their life that does this,' said Herb Reich, author of the book 2051 Things That Really Piss Me Off. 'Being late constantly, to me, means you are saying your time is more valuable than mine.' Reich said while it's easier to forgive friends and family for their lateness, we need to establish very clear boundaries for being on time when it comes to professional relationships. 'Sometimes I will establish consequences in the contract.' he said, 'It's always wise to let people know what you feel about their behavior.' And while Reich said lateness is a 'personality trait,' psychologist Pamela Brand said the behavior is neurological (神经学的). 'We call this a bio-psycho-socio pattern,' Brand said. The biological cause of lateness, she said, is when the person's organization and planning skills are underdeveloped. Socially, she said here can be learned behaviors or cultural communities that don't focus on time or being prompt. 'If someone wasn't raised ever looking at a watch things were kind of loose growing up, just knowing this can help us understand why they function a certain way,' she said. The psychological part of the pattern is when a person pardons or rationalizes their behavior with excuses. Brand said. So can people change their ways? 'It's my belief that all patterns can be changed if a person is conscious and wants it to be changed.' Brand said. 'There's a book called You Are Not Your Brain that I refer to often that outlines a four-step process of changing patterns in the brain. It does a wonderful job of giving a clear explanation of how patterns develop, how they are hard wired into the brain and how to shift patterns to support neurological shifting. 'This could take six months for a neurological change to stick.' she said. To lend support for someone who is trying to be more punctual. Brand said it helps to raise the stakes. 'A person is much less likely to be motivated if there are no consequences.' Brand said. 'If there is no threat to losing a relationship, losing a job or getting kicked out of school, things will stay the same. So if being late bothers you, you have to rally make the contract clear.' Reich agrees. 'Once, I was waiting for someone in my professional life, and after 15 minutes, I left.' he said. 'I explained why I did this, and that changed their behavior. My time is just as valuable as theirs and I don't want to sit around. They weren't late after that.'

单选题Happiness is U-shaped, for we are happier at the start and end of our lives but hit a slump when we are 25 , British and US researchers say. Economists from the University of Warwick, central England, and from Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, looked at data on the 26 health of two million people from 80 countries. In Britain, the 27 of depression for men and women peaks at around 44 years of age, Warwick University said in a press release. In the United States, though, there was a big 28 between men and women. Among women, unhappiness peaked at around the age of 40, 29 among men, it was about 50. But the U-shape of happiness is constant around the world, and mid-life depression occurs regardless of marital status, changes in job or income. The study appears in Social Science Medicine, published by the Dutch publishing house Elsevier. 'It happens to men and women, to single and 30 people, to rich and poor, and to those with and without children.' said co-author Andrew Oswald. One possibility may be that people realize they won't achieve many of their 31 at middle age, the researchers said. Another reason could be that after seeing their fellow middle-aged 32 begin to die, people begin to value their own remaining years and embrace life once more. But the good news is that if people make it to aged 70 and are still physically fit, they are on average as happy and 33 healthy as a 20-year old. 'For the average persons in the modern world, the dip in mental health and happiness comes on slowly, not suddenly in a single year,' Oswald said, 'Only in their fifties do people 34 from this low period.' A. difference B. meanwhile C. completely D. mental E. tendency F. aspirations G. probability H. emerge I. physical J. middle-aged K. whereas L. peers M. mentally N. aged O. married
